Ok, so I've been bouncing the idea around in my head, and so far I've come
up with a few features I want to put in, as well as some problems I have yet
to solve
Features:
* Inbound and outbound networking
* Relay of information that DGD itself doesn't forward
- source port
- identd info
* Enhanced access controls
- connections that violate them can be simply closed and not even be
accepted
Problems:
* Preventing the network daemon from being spoofed to DGD, possible
workarounds listed
- use a unix socket protected by filesystem perms to establish the control
socket
- use public key crpyto to authenticate
* Lack of knowhow implementing a decent multiplexer
So right now, I'm seeking input on what I should be on the lookout for, as
well as additional features.
